Reflective Writings About Finding Purpose & Healing Through Photography, Nature & Creativity
Discover Brad Carr’s Acclaimed Philosophical and Educational Creative Essays that will Help You Find a Deeper Sense of Purpose
Brad Carr
Brad Carr writes at the intersection of photography, creativity, Nature, healing, and personal transformation. Through creative, reflective essays that emerge from years of wandering Welsh woodlands, writing in the pages of his journal, and mentoring fellow creatives, he explores the inner landscapes that shape our vision—both through the camera lens and through life itself.
These reflections offer sanctuary for those seeking to deepen their creative practice, navigate artistic transitions, or discover how mindful observation and stillness become a pathway to healing and authentic expression. Each piece invites readers to slow down, look closer, and find the light that exists within both the natural world and the internal landscape.

Starting Out

The question that changed everything: what was I offering the world beyond pretty pictures?
